Tropical Sun Cold and Flu, 20 Tea Bags 40g
Plain truth first: this will not treat a cold or the flu, and the name should be read as marketing, not medicine, see a pharmacist or GP for that. What is in the cup is a gentle chamomile and ginger blend, soft with a warming ginger lift, and a warm drink is comforting when you feel rough, purely for the comfort and the fluid, nothing more. Caffeine-free. Judged as a gentle herbal cup it is pleasant; judged against its name it overpromises badly.
Tropical Sun Cold and Flu, in brief.
Tropical Sun Cold and Flu herbal infusion, 20 tea bags, 40g. A mild, floral drink. The maker describes a blend of coriander, chamomile, ginger, hibiscus and lemon. Use freshly boiled water and steep for 2–5 minutes, following your pack.
Tropical Sun Cold and Flu, 20 Tea Bags 40g is a herbal infusion sold as a drink. The name identifies the product; we do not claim it prevents or treats colds, flu or other illnesses.
